Explanation: A rectangle has 4 sides, and you know that 1 side is 27 and another side is 27 because that’s the length. Subtract 116 - 27 - 27 = 62, which gets you the width. So, the sides of the rectangle are 27 feet, 27 feet, 31 feet, and 31 feet. Now, to find the area, you multiply length times width. 27•31 = 837.
